36th International Union of Physiolgical Sciences 2009
On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my great pleasure and honor to extend this invitation to take part in the coming XXXVIth Congress of the International Union of
Physiological Sciences (IUPS), to be held in the beautiful and historic city of Kyoto, Japan, from July 27 to August 1, 2009. We believe we are now in the midst of developments leading to a new era in physiological research, fueled by the recent revolutionary progress in the biological sciences. We have witnessed the sequencing of the human genome, dramatic progress in computer technology and bioinformatics, and the determination of the structures of a variety of proteins including membrane receptors and channels. The congress will provide an excellent opportunity to review these rapid advances. Many distinguished speakers from all parts of the world will be invited to bring us all up-to-date on recent developments, both in basic and clinical research, through 28 Invited Lectures (7 Named Lectures, 17 Special Lectures and 4 PSJ Named Lectures), and a wide variety of symposia (55 regular symposia, 16 whole-day symposia, and 5 PSJ symposia), together consisting of more than 150 proposals that cover almost all academic fields related to the physiological sciences. There will also be opportunities for young scientists to make their work known to a wider audience through Poster Sessions and to discuss their scientific interests with colleagues from many different countries. For this purpose, we are ready to support and encourage
young investigators, through Travel Grants, to participate in IUPS 2009 Kyoto. Please look at our website for details of the funding and the application procedure.
We are ready to invite you and calling now for papers in the Congress under the title of "Function of Life: Elements and Integration." Information technology has increased the volume and speed of information flow astronomically. However, it is still no substitute for face-to-face communication. We hope you will be able to join us to share in the exciting scientific dialogue and enjoyable social exchange that will take place in Kyoto.
